Ace Tanker on the T34. This was an especially notable match for me, since I had played 363 matches in the tank before getting this mastery badge. I suppose the tank is extremely popular among skilled players, which makes it hard to surpass the top 99% in XP earnings.

A while after that, I platooned with Kimidori and RRW. We started with tier 5 and jumped up to tier 8. It was a great session, with a good ratio of wins to losses. One of the most notable was this match, where RRW got Halonen's Medal for killing three tier 10 tanks:

I should get a better feel for my T34, because so far the reason I've done terribly in it is the same reason that I can horribly abuse the things when I shoot at them with my other tanks: Bad reload time combined with slow traverse and a soft hull.

Meanwhile, scouting and arty appear to be dropping in the other servers since 8.6. Arty for obvious reasons, scouting because RNG makes shots at fast targets more reliable and bush camo has been nerfed.

I got into this game because of a certain anime and funny tanks. I pretty much can't take anything else about WoT seriously (Clan Wars, competitions) because the system is gamed to hell and the management usually turns a blind eye... or winks.

Yeah, it's sad. Also derp tanks are being the most favorable ones to play since the accuracy buff. Is worrying to watch how the population of KV-2, ISU, SU-152 is increasing at an alarming rate and how a derp shot of 400+ damage can fly across the map and hit anything with impunity.

The other Ferdinand got credit for this, though I did absorb a shot from the dead Ferdi, track it, shoot it again to bring it to 20%, and drive around behind it to where I was staring at said hatch. The friendly Ferdinand and I fired at about the same time.

Incidentally, I decided to skip (for now) repair skill on my T-44 driver so that they are now working on Clutch Braking on top of Smooth Ride and Off-Road Driving. Sure the T-44 is already pretty nimble and the bonus from Clutch Braking is only 5% greater turning rate, but I want to see just how spry I can make a Soviet medium.

I made up for it in the next game by getting three kills in about twelve seconds with the Churchill III, by getting in the very final shot on a PzIV, Churchill I, and T49, right after someone else on my team had almost killed each of them.
